Team Canada has done well in the last few Olympics but they're not able to do this well without help.

The information that lead to this conclusion was sent by a 3rd party on behalf of an alleged victim that supposedly was harassed.

How do we fix this? Guest: Mike Sanderson, Chief of Emergency Services for the City of Hamilton-Twitter is a household name and it's taken hold of many people's lives nowadays.

In modern society, does it even matter if the accused is actually guilty? Guest: Brad Clark, Principal at Maple Leaf Strategies-Divorce makes for an incredible financial burden that gets added on top of the emotional toll it takes on those involved.

Guest: Nick Poloniato, Canadian National Bobsleigh Team Pilot-A kid was busted for going almost twice the speed limit on the Red Hill Parkway and now people are saying that we should fix the Red Hill so this can't happen.
